How to Avoid Jealousy When It Comes to Passover Programs

Ever heard of travel envy? It’s a real thing. Oftentimes family or friends can feel jealous when you are enjoying yourself on vacation. You may feel it too sometimes and it’s completely normal. Nothing to fear. However, if you do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings or make anyone jealous while you’re fully relaxing and indulging in a luxurious Passover program, follow these three tips below. If you don’t care or no one in your family will get jealous and will just instead be happy, these tips may not apply to you.

1.Do not post on your social media! It’s a super hard thing to do of course. You want to show your followers that you’re in someplace new and enjoying all the amenities. So do just that. If you know of any of your followers who will be jealous, then hide your story from them for the duration of your trip. It’s totally normal to want to share your trip with people. If you’ve seen your friends show off their outfits, beautiful views, and delicious food when they’re vacationing, then you are allowed to do that too. If you’re more of a lowkey person who doesn’t post on their social media, then refrain from spamming your friends with photos boasting you having a good time while they’re depressed at home, not on a program. If you have supportive friends and family who are happy for you and love to hear all the details, then go right ahead. Just be mindful of those who aren’t fortunate enough to go on a Passover program.

2. Avoid speaking about it before, during, and after the Passover program. It’s exciting to know your Passover plans and want to tell your friends and family. A rule of thumb is to only tell those who ask about your plans, instead of telling them first. We understand it’s something that you may be looking forward to but try to be sensitive to others. During the trip, you may feel the urge to send pictures of the tables and tables of mouthwatering delicacies, gorgeous pools, and thrilling activities, but try and hold back. Of course, if your friend asks you how the program is going and to send pictures, then send pictures. Just be aware of the situation and have some tact. Afterwards, try not to go on and on about how amazing the programs was in front of their face. Of course, do your due diligence and write your review of the Program on Passover Listing’s website and the Passover Listing

3.Bring home a souvenir. Everyone loves a gift; it shows that you were thinking of them while you were away. We are sure your friend or friends will love to get a souvenir from wherever your Passover stay was. Or better yet, your family or nieces and nephews. It’s just a small token of love. I remember when I was in elementary school and my teacher went on vacation for a few days and we had a substitute. When the teacher came back, she had a big bag with her, and she explained how she brought us all souvenirs from her trip. Now that I am older, I have realized the souvenirs were probably not from her trip, and she ordered them from Amazon beforehand. But as a child, it meant so much that our teacher, who does not compare to a friend or a family member, thought of us and brought us something back. So, if you can buy a gift or a souvenir, big or small, do it!

Considering these three tips will hopefully decrease travel envy amongst your friends and family. To end off, you do not need to be overly sensitive if your friends and family do not care that you are showing off your trip. You know your family and friends best, so do as you see fit. Happy travels!
